The Challenge

  • Cognitiv, a B2B AI company, faced a significant milestone with the launch of its first-ever brand campaign and turned to OOH advertising.
  • By strategically targeting ad agency offices in New York City, Cognitiv aimed to reach busy advertising executives during their commutes.

The Solution

  • Known for its innovative AI platform, Cognitiv created striking AI-driven content and partnered with us, billups, for our AI-powered measurement technology.
  • We planned a targeted OOH campaign in high-traffic NYC locations, capitalizing on the return to in-office work.
  • Using our technology, our billups team strategically selected high-impact units, combining traditional and digital OOH formats with attention metrics for real-time optimization and maximum engagement.

The Results

  • The campaign delivered 58.5M impressions and  two units stood out for their performance, achieving attention scores of 99% and 97% and 3x higher dwell times than the campaign average.
  • Street furniture also showed strong attention scores despite shorter dwell times.
  • Overall, the campaign suggests that by effectively boosting brand awareness, lower funnel success can also be realized, demonstrated by Cognitiv's 650% increase in organic LinkedIn searches.

"We turned to billups to assist us in using OOH for our first brand-building campaign. The ability to collect attention insights on a branding investment changes how we think about branding by demonstrating what units worked best and enabling us to optimize future campaigns. Along with high attention scores, the 650% increase in organic LinkedIn searches from this campaign further proved our strategy's effectiveness."
